{{quote|''You will not prevail, Megatron. Not while energon still flows in my veins.''}}
Line 40 ⟶ 43:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Do not harm humans in his presence, and certainly don't gloat about it. He set out to straight-up ''kill'' Megatron when this happened. It was probably the last straw in a series of injustices, but still.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: It is very, very hard to get Optimus legitimately angry at you. [[Unstoppable Rage|This is a good thing for all concerned.]]
* [[BFGBig Freaking Gun]]: He gets the biggest arm cannons out of the whole team.
* [[Big Good]]
* [[Blade Below the Shoulder]]: Each shoulder, in fact. Much like his [[Transformers (film)|Movie counterpart]].
Line 81 ⟶ 84:

{{quote|''Who's ready to rumble?''}}
Line 215 ⟶ 218:
* [[Alien Arts Are Appreciated]]: He's a big metal fan. Also a big, metal fan, but that's beside the point.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Slight shades of Type II every now and then.
* [[BFG]]: His arm cannon is second only to Optimus' in size.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: A giant teddy bear made of metal, he is.
** [[Badass in Distress]]: In "Armada", when he's trapped upon the ''Nemesis''. Though he actually rescues himself {{spoiler|by bringing down the Nemesis}} then driving off.
Line 221 ⟶ 223:
** Also, Starscream {{spoiler|or rather, one of his clones}}, found out the ''hard way'' that Arcee is not the only one who will become dangerously angered over being reminded of who killed Cliffjumper. {{spoiler|It results in Bulkhead beating him to death}}.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Despite his kind nature, he's extremely dangerous in combat. Case in point in "Armada" {{spoiler|where he beats a Starscream clone to death, and then proceeds to damage the ''Nemesis'' to the point of crash-landing.}}
* [[BFGBig Freaking Gun]]: His arm cannon is second only to Optimus' in size.
* [[Big Fun]]
* [[The Big Guy]]
Line 232 ⟶ 235:
* [[Lantern Jaw of Justice]]
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: While he doesn't have the speed or acceleration of Arcee and Bumblebee, in robot mode he can move surprisingly fast.
* [[Moral Dissonance]]: Though he's usually an all-around [[Nice Guy]], he has moments of this several times -- specificallytimes—specifically, in "Speed Metal", deciding to leave Jack's rival Vince to the Decepticons because "the guy's a jerk." [[What the Hell, Hero?|Jack calls him out on it.]]
* [[One-Man Army]]: The core Autobot team's second-most-dangerous combatant. Stands to reason, him being a former Wrecker. Also the only bot (apart from Optimus Prime) to stand up to {{spoiler|Megatron while he's on Dark Energon}} and hold his own.
* [[Papa Wolf]]: Towards Miko, of course.
Line 244 ⟶ 247:
 
=== {{color|red|Cliffjumper}} ===
[[File:Cliffjumper_Prime_4736Cliffjumper Prime 4736.png|frame|<ref>[[File:CliffjumperAlt_2556CliffjumperAlt 2556.png|frame]]</ref>]]

{{hardline}}
<!-- %% -->
<!-- %% -->
<!-- %%He's been dead since the second episode. It's halfway through the second season. Statute of limitations, and it's pointless to have a trope listing where everything's spoilered out. -->
<!-- %% -->
* [[The Big Guy]]: Fairly obvious.
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]
Line 274 ⟶ 273:
 
=== {{color|red|Wheeljack}} ===
[[File:WheeljackImage_9733WheeljackImage 9733.png|frame|<ref>[[File:WheeljackAlt_1150WheeljackAlt 1150.png|frame]]</ref>]]
 
{{quote|''If you're trying to ruin my day, you're going to have to try harder.''}}
Line 295 ⟶ 294:
* [[Cool Sword]]: His [[Dual-Wielding|two katanas]].
** [[Katanas Are Just Better]]
* [[Composite Character]]: As the [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Wheeljack_%28Prime%29 TF Wiki] says, "Wheeljack: determined to make Drift redundant." <ref> Drift is a G1 character from the IDW comics who has trouble with authority and wields a curved sword. While not really a badly written character, he was considered overhyped before his debut and calculated to be as cool of a character as popular, hence the Japanese inspired sword and some Kanji on his vehicle mode.</ref>
** He also has a bit of [[Beast Wars|Depth Charge]] in his obsession for revenge on Dreadwing, and his disregard for Optimus ("Loose Cannons" is not too far off story wise from Depth Charge's introductory episode "Deep Metal"). He also prefers to work on his own much like Tigatron.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
Line 314 ⟶ 313:
=== {{color|red|Tailgate}} ===
 
{{quote|Voiced by: [[Josh Keaton]]}}
 
A partner of Arcee during the war on Cybertron, he was captured and killed in front of her by Airachnid.
Line 322 ⟶ 321:
* [[Palette Swap]]: Whilst his appearance in "Predatory" does a good job of hiding it, he shares the same character model as Cliffjumper, but recoloured. Given [[Killed Off for Real|what happens to both him and Cliffjumper]], it has resulted in something of a joke amongst the fanbase that Arcee should stay away from Autobots with that body-type (and that its a good thing Bumblebee doesn't share this trait in this series).
* [[Posthumous Character]]
 
 
=== {{color|red|Seaspray}} ===
Line 359 ⟶ 357:
 
=== {{color|purple|Megatron/Megatronus/D-16}} ===
[[File:Megatron_Prime_2_6991Megatron Prime 2 6991.png|frame|<ref>[[File:MegatronAlt_9367MegatronAlt 9367.png|frame]]</ref>]]
 
{{quote|''Megatron is commanded by NO ONE!''}}
Line 373 ⟶ 371:
** [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: His backstory is that he was a former gladiator on Cybertron who fought his way up to leading the Decepticons.
* [[Arch Enemy]]: To Optimus.
* [[Arm Cannon]]/[[BFGBig Freaking Gun]]: Mostly due to [[Transformers Generation 1|trad]][[Transformers Animated|ition]], it's one of the only non-[[Shapeshifter Weapon|Shapeshifter Weapons]]s in the series.
* [[Ax Crazy]]
* [[Badass]]: One of the [[Broad Strokes|very few things]] that ''was'' inherited from ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron|War For Cybertron]]''... with considerable interest, at that. By the second season, it's pretty clear that he's one of the most dangerous Cybertronians alive.
Line 435 ⟶ 433:
* [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?]]: Completely averted for once. This Megatron has no tolerance for treachery, as Starscream and Airachnid find out.
* [[Wreathed in Flames]]: When using Dark Energon, he approaches this look, but he really goes into it when {{spoiler|Unicron takes control of him (probably a reference to The Fallen)}}.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Megatron does not take failure lightly.
 
=== {{color|purple|Starscream}} ===
[[File:Starscream_3_5411Starscream 3 5411.png|frame|<ref>[[File:StarscreamAlt_1702StarscreamAlt 1702.png|frame]]</ref>]]
 
{{quote|''I am no stranger to ambition.''}}
Line 483 ⟶ 481:
* [[Guttural Growler]]
* [[The Heavy]]: For most of season 1 until Megatron's return.
* [[HeelDeadly Face Door SlamChange-of-Heart]]: {{spoiler|He tries to join the Autobots during "Partners", but Arcee tries to kill him after discovering that he killed Cliffjumper. He winds up striking out on his own instead.}}
* [[Hero-Killer]]: He murdered Cliffjumper.
* [[He's Back]]: {{spoiler|Looks like that time he took off at the end of Season 1 has done him some good; "Orion Pax, Pt. 1" shows him managing to sneak back onboard the ''Nemesis'' to make off with some pilfered Energon Cubes, and along the way, brutally murder the two Vehicons guarding said Cubes.}}
Line 506 ⟶ 504:
* [[The Napoleon]]
* [[No One Could Survive That]]: {{spoiler|Optimus and Dreadwing both write him off as scrap after Dreadwing detonated a series of bombs that sent Starscream plummeting through the Antarctic ice. Of course, he ''was'' wearing the Apex Armor at the time.}}
* [[NoWon't SellWork On Me]]: {{spoiler|Once he gains the Apex Armor, he casually shrugs off everything Optimus and Dreadwing could throw at him.}}
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Starscream may have no sense of honor, but it appears he is not without a sense of ''gratitude'', as shown when he {{spoiler|repays Arcee's mercy towards him in Season 1 by sparing her life when he could have killed her instead.}}
* [[Psychotic Smirk]]: He rarely ''isn't'' doing it.
Line 525 ⟶ 523:
* [[Tempting Fate]]: {{spoiler|Starscream probably shouldn't have gloated too much about his ability to transform to Bumblebee before he flew back to Silas.}}
* [[Too Clever by Half]]
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Things ''finally'' seem to go his way in "Triangulation", as he {{spoiler|obtains the Apex Armor, which basically makes him ''nigh-invulnerable''.}}
* [[Torture Technician]]
* {{spoiler|[[Twin Telepathy]]: Of a sort. Starscream feels all of the pain his clones experience. This does not dissuade him from killing the last one before he could betray him.}}
Line 537 ⟶ 535:
=== {{color|purple|Soundwave}} ===
 
[[File:Soundwave_Prime_2_5213Soundwave Prime 2 5213.png|frame|<ref>[[File:SoundwaveAlt_3699SoundwaveAlt 3699.png|frame]]</ref>]]
 
{{quote|''[[Ironic Echo|"Must bear witness".]]''}}
Line 587 ⟶ 585:
 
=== {{color|purple|Knock Out}} ===
[[File:Knock_Out_Image_57Knock Out Image 57.png|frame|<ref>[[File:Knock_Out_Alt_8039Knock Out Alt 8039.png|frame]]</ref>]]
 
{{quote|''Doctor in the house.''}}
Line 595 ⟶ 593:
A skilled Decepticon fighter and doctor, Knock Out is very particular about his specifications and appearance, chosing a muscle car alt mode because he prefered the look. Regardless, he is perfectly capable of mixing it up in a fight and provides a precision strike while his close friend and partner Breakdown provides the muscle.
 
* [[Actor Allusion]]: [[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents|Timmy's dad]] had an unhealthy obsession with a red sports car, and hey, he's always been [[Ambiguously Gay]] at best. Guess what Knock Out transforms into and what sort of character he's like.
* [[Affably Evil]]
* [[Agent Peacock]]
Line 634 ⟶ 632:
 
=== {{color|purple|Breakdown}} ===
[[File:BreakdownImage_7806BreakdownImage 7806.png|frame|<ref>[[File:BreakdownAlt_8153BreakdownAlt 8153.png|frame]]</ref>]]
 
{{quote|''Never run when you can fight.''}}
Line 642 ⟶ 640:
A long time rival to Bulkhead, Breakdown is a tough bot whose loyalty to the Decepticons stems mostly from allowing him more opportunities to fight. When it comes to the actual Decepticon cause, he stands out as an enigma who doesn't care too much about it. A close friend of Knock Out's, they form a dangerous team and like to go off on their own agendas.
 
* [[Adaptational Badass]]/[[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: In almost every ''Transformers'' continuity, Breakdown is a paranoid [[Dirty Coward]] who would rather flee than fight. He [[Transformers: War for Cybertron|used to be]] like this in the universe of this series as well, but at present, he's, well...
* [[Anti-Villain]]: There are hints that Breakdown is a Decepticon because of opportunity only and has his own sense of loyalty and honor, even having a certain degree of respect for Bulkhead as his [[The Rival|rival]].
* [[Arch Enemy]]: To Bulkhead. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Miko.
Line 670 ⟶ 668:
 
=== {{color|purple|Airachnid}} ===
[[File:AirachnidImage_2527AirachnidImage 2527.png|frame|<ref>[[File:AirachnidAlt_6199AirachnidAlt 6199.png|frame]]</ref>]]
 
{{quote|''But don't get me wrong--I fully intend to snuff out your Spark. And believe me, I '''will''' make it hurt. But that won't compare to the pain you'll feel knowing I'm adding your human to my collection.''}}
Line 722 ⟶ 720:
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Her toy is reportedly being released as "Air'''r'''ac'''c'''hnid" for trademark reasons.
* [[Spider Limbs]]
* [[Spider People]]: She's basically a robotic [[Dungeons and& Dragons|Drider]].
* [[The Starscream]]: Since {{spoiler|the [[Trope Namer]] defected}}, she has been trying to seep more power from Megatron. During "One Shall Rise, Part 3" she attempts to take command of the Decepticons and tells the troops they may as well forget about Megatron and abandon the Earth. Her attempt to usurp authority is swiftly prevented and dealt with by Soundwave.
** In an earlier example, {{spoiler|she pulls this off with Starscream, ironically}}. Megatron wasn't too happy about it though.
Line 732 ⟶ 730:
 
=== {{color|purple|Skyquake}} ===
[[File:SkyquakeImage_4487SkyquakeImage 4487.png|frame|<ref>[[File:SkyquakeAlt_5428SkyquakeAlt 5428.png|frame]]</ref>]]

Line 761 ⟶ 759:

[[File:DreadwingImage_7963DreadwingImage 7963.png|frame|<ref>[[File:DreadwingAlt_8176DreadwingAlt 8176.png|frame]]</ref>]]
 
{{quote|''Then by the Pit, every last Autobot on this accursed world will pay.''}}
Line 773 ⟶ 771:
* [[Backup Twin]]: Skyquake's twin brother, identical in appearance, but with a different voice actor.
* [[Badass]]: He is the only Decepticon besides Megatron to go against Optimus Prime and not only hold his own, but ato lso survive the encounter.
* [[BFGBig Freaking Gun]]: Carries an enormous laser cannon with a chainsaw-style grip.
* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]
* [[Booby Trap]]: He's a big fan of these.
Line 808 ⟶ 806:
 
=== {{color|purple|Vehicons}} (or {{color|purple|Eradicons}}) ===
[[File:10_Trooper_413810 Trooper 4138.jpg|frame|<ref>[[File:VehiconAlt_8856VehiconAlt 8856.png|frame]]</ref>]]

* [[Non-Human Undead]]
Line 866 ⟶ 864:
 
=== {{color|purple|Insecticons}} ===

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Steve Blum]], [[Kevin Michael Richardson]], [[Frank Welker]]}}
 
Line 916 ⟶ 914:
The Decepticon Warship gained a mind of its own when Megatron used the very unpredictable Dark Energon to repair its systems.
 
* [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]]
* [[All There in the Manual]]: It isn't really mentioned in the episode "Flying Mind", but this isn't exactly the first time the ''Nemesis'' has been ''alive'' in this universe. {{spoiler|It used to be Trypticon}}.
* [[Anti-Mutiny]]: It was very single-minded about completing Project: Iacon and put the Decepticons in stasis when they tried to retake control of it.
Line 929 ⟶ 927:
 
=== Jack Darby ===
[[File:JackDarby_stockimage_4736JackDarby stockimage 4736.jpg|frame]]

[[File:Raf_stockimage_1475Raf stockimage 1475.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|'''Miko''': ''You know how to hack? But you're, like, two years old.''

Line 1,029 ⟶ 1,027:
 
=== Special Agent William Fowler ===
[[File:DarknessRising2-Fowler_4169Fowler 4169.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|''Never an Autobot around when you actually ''need'' one!''}}
 
Line 1,039 ⟶ 1,037:
* [[Badass Normal]]: He may just be a human, but he's able to withstand Decepticon torture for an unknown amount of time without cracking, not to mention dogfight Laserbeak in a Huey helicopter. He can also fly a jet without a flight suit, thanks to a cabin-pressure stabilizer that Rachet has built into the cockpit to keep his organs from exploding.
** In "Nemesis Prime", he chooses to go into a battleground between Optimus and Nemesis Prime, sneaks into the MECH base (including knocking out at least three sentries), and fistfights Silas (while admitting he's out-of-shape) to buy Optimus time against his doppelganger.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: In "Crisscross", he showed up with a bunch of [[Black Helicopter|Black Helicopters]]s to save Arcee, Jack, and June from Airachnid.
* [[Da Chief]]
* [[Expy]]: Of Colonel Franklin from ''[[Transformers Cybertron|Cybertron]]''.
* [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique]]: He tries it on a MECH mook when standing on top of Optimus' altmode. [[Subverted Trope|The mook hits a branch and presumably dies.]]
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Most of the time, he's yelling at Optimus about whatever new incident is going down (often [[Mis BlamedMisblamed|misblaming]] them for it), and when conversing with Bumblebee, he started talking slower as though Bumblebee couldn't understand him. However, he's a valued ally and friend to the Autobots and he grows fond of the kids, even showing a great deal of respect to Jack's mom.
** To be fair, working with Team Prime '''is''' an incredibly stressful job at the best of times and said "new incidents" have a chance of extreme collateral damage.
* [[The Men in Black]]
Line 1,090 ⟶ 1,088:
=== Silas ===
{{quote|''There'a a war brewing between the new world order and the newest. The victor will be the side armed with the most innovative technology.''}}

Line 1,214 ⟶ 1,212:
 
=== The Thirteen Original Primes ===
[[File:13_Primes_146713 Primes 1467.png|frame]]
 
Powerful creations of Primus who tipped the balance in the battle against Unicron. They are responsible for the creation of Cybertronian society and their unique qualities can be seen among their descendants.
Line 1,245 ⟶ 1,243:
=== Nemesis Prime ===
{{quote|''I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, and I bring you this message:'' [[We Come in Peace, Shoot to Kill|*blam*]]}}
[[File:Nemesis_Prime_6053Nemesis Prime 6053.png|frame]]
{{quote|Voiced by: [[Peter Cullen]], [[Clancy Brown]]}}
 
Line 1,258 ⟶ 1,256:
* [[The Undead]]: While not a character that's brought back from the dead, its appearance certainly seems to try and invoke this, mainly due to the rusting appearance and darker colours.
